Robin Hahnel - Theory and Practice of Economic Justice and Democracy

Theory and Practice of Economic Justice and Democracy

In recent years Hahnel has stopped publishing books with Michael Albert on participatory economics. He has done much work in academic oriented political economic theory. Notably, he wrote an essay analysing the works of Amartya Sen that was published in the anthology "Understanding Capitalism: Critical Analysis from Karl Marx to Amartya Sen". There is a noticeable turn in his recent work towards consideration of mid-term strategies such as global Keynesianism and living wage reforms while maintaining his long-term sights on a libertarian socialist economy based on equitable cooperation.

    As thou urgest justice, be assured
    Thou shalt have justice more than thou desirest.

    In a democracy dissent is an act if faith. Like medicine, the test of its value is not in its taste, but its effects.
